Hello my name is Mark I am a Nottinghamshire/ Derbyshire / Bedfordshire Dog Photographer.

🎂❤️ HAPPY 5TH BIRTHDAY TO MY BEAUTIFUL TILLY! ❤️🎂

Five years of the cheekiest little girl, the biggest food lover, the fastest ball chaser and one of the best cuddlers I could ever have asked for. 🥹🐾❤️

Tilly, you have brought so much happiness, laughter and love into our lives. You might be obsessed with food 😂, completely crazy when there’s a ball involved 🎾 and always ready for a cuddle, but you’re also such a special little soul.

And I honestly couldn’t talk about Tilly without mentioning just how much she has helped me with my photography. 📸🐶

She has been my little model from the very beginning and has helped me learn, experiment and develop my style. She’s put up with countless cameras being pointed at her, endless ideas, props, outfits and probably far too many photos! 😂❤️

These photos are from her very own Paddington Bear-themed 5th birthday party, complete with her amazing personalised biscuits from The BARKeria and harness set from Pawsome Paws Boutique ʟ ᴛ ᴅ 🧸🎂🍪

Of course, Tilly was more interested in eating them than posing with them… but that’s my girl! 😂

Thank you for being my little model, my food-obsessed ball-chasing cuddle monster and, most importantly, my beautiful Tilly. ❤️

I hope you have the best 5th birthday ever, sweetheart. 🥰

Happy Birthday Tilly! 🎂🐾❤️

Here’s to many, many more adventures, cuddles, balls, treats and photographs together. 📸❤️

Sometimes, a photograph is more than just a photograph. 🧡

It’s the colours.
The little details.
The personality.
And that one moment you somehow manage to freeze in time. 🐾🌻

This was one of those moments.

Captured at Hitchin Lavender, with this gorgeous little dachshund, a basket, a field full of sunflowers and a whole lot of summer magic. 🌻

I absolutely love capturing moments like these — creating something that feels a little different, a little special, and something you’ll want to look back on for years to come.

And I think this reel shows just how much colour can change a photograph.

From nothing…
to one colour at a time…
until everything comes together. 🎨✨

This is why I love what I do.

Tilly absolutely thriving in the sunshine 🌼🐾

I don’t think she could’ve looked any more proud sitting there judging the world 😂

One of my favourite things about photographing dogs outdoors is capturing those natural little moments and expressions — nothing forced, just letting them enjoy themselves while I document it.

Also… how nice is this harness from 👀✨

Would your dog sit this calmly for photos or would they instantly run off? 😂👇

She’s not just a pretty face… she’s got personality too 🌼🐶

Heidi absolutely stole the show on this shoot — one minute giving me this calm, model-like look… the next she’s got her tongue out living her best life 😂

This is exactly why I love photographing dogs outdoors — you never just get one version of them, you get them.

If you’ve ever thought about getting photos like this of your dog, now’s the time 🐾
📍 Outdoor sessions | Natural moments | No stress
